Buying a piano is exciting and you may be tempted to buy the first one you see; however before you buy one, look at several Upright Pianos in Cincinnati before making a purchase. Carefully look at each piano you’re interested in buying to make sure that it’s in good condition or easily repairable. Below are some tips you can follow for successful piano buying.
Appearance
Just because a piano has a few scratches and dings doesn’t mean that it’s not been taken care of. Depending on what you’re going to use the piano for will determine how nice you want it to look. If this is going to be a first piano for your child’s lessons, it may not matter if it isn’t cosmetically perfect. On the other hand, if this piano will be used mainly as a showpiece in your parlor, you may want it to look flawless.
Sound
Play the piano before you buy it so you can listen to the sound. Notice how the keys feel when you play them and test every key to make sure they all work. If the piano sounds a little off, but otherwise plays and sounds decent, you’ll probably just need to have the piano tuned by a professional in OH. If you don’t know how a piano is supposed to sound, bring someone with you who does when you look at them.
History
Ask the owner about the history of the piano such as how often it’s been played, where it’s been stored and how many different people have owned the piano. Asking these questions can give you a better idea of how the piano has been treated and cared for. If you’re not having any luck finding a for sale by owner piano, you can always visit a store that specializes in buying and selling Upright Pianos in Cincinnati. Although a store owner may not know the entire history of a piano, they will service and tune the piano before placing it for sale in their showroom.
BHA Pianocenter is a family owned OH business that sells and services grands, uprights and digital pianos.
